More cruise options from Mumbai as Cordelia sails two ships from India

A new ship, Cordelia Sky, welcomed its first guests on October 23, 2026, sailing out of Mumbai. At the same time, the company's earlier vessel, Cordelia Empress, began its Kochi schedule, marking the first occasion the line runs two ships from two Indian homeports together.

The larger fleet widens the choice of routes. Options range from brief two-night trips at sea and to Goa, through three-night Goa sailings and four-night Lakshadweep journeys, to five-night trips pairing Goa with Lakshadweep. Weekend cruises and overseas routes to the Maldives and Sri Lanka also leave from Mumbai and Kochi.

Cordelia Sky can carry 2,280 passengers when full, spread over 1,002 rooms, with a greater proportion of premium cabins like Mini Suites, Penthouse Suites and Chairman's Suites. The chief financial officer noted consistent appetite for higher-category rooms, and this ship provides around 260 of them.
